Much of this document is tentative at this stage as it will be subject to confirmation or revision throughout the feasibility study. It is intended that with further amendment as additional data becomes available it will form the basis for the final engineering design criteria and it is broken down into genera-l project parameters and design criteria for the individual engineering disciplines in such a fashion as to be readily incorporated into this final criteria. - 2.0 -Project Parameters ---- Item- River Flows Average flow (over 30 yrs of record) P~obable Maximum flood Max. flood with return period of 1:10,000 yrs Max. flood with return period of 1:500 yrs.
